My family has this thing with Skye Bolt. I don't know, we all like him, kind of for no reason other than his legendary name. Anyway, Skye Bolt was born on January 15th, 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was drafted twice in the June amateur draft, but signed with the A's in 2015. Skye played in the lower-level minors until a breakout in 2018 that saw a .260/.347/.474 slash line in 126 games high-A and AA. He needed 19 games in the Arizona Fall League and 89 at AAA in 2018 before gaining a big-league call. His first major-league hit (in his second game) knocked off the top of the wall for an impressive extra-base knock. However, he struggled at the plate, and never played more than 34 games with the A's before coming to the Giants. He played 2 games in San Francisco before 42 more with the A's in 2022. In 81 big-league games, Bolt has a career slash of .156/.205/.266 in 173 at-bats. He is currently playing in the Braves organization. I would love to see a call-up again in his career, but that seems unlikely at this point. There's always hope though.
Somehow, I never caught that name back in 2019. It would have made it into my "Wacky Wednesday" binders. Who knows, maybe he'll get a Braves card.
